@mitu I have a raspberry pi model 3b+ and I use this to power my raspberry pi (12v to 5v converter inside unit, 2.5A) while using the joysticks for my arcade machine: https://www.jaycar.com.au/raspberry-pi-retro-arcade-game-console-with-hdmi-port/p/XC9062

Retropie version 4.8

@Thorr69 could you elaborate on what file that would be? When I had used a 16gb USB, the romset I had totalled almost 16GB and it seemed to have been causing issues until I swapped to a larger capacity USB so I doubt it would have been a log file issue?

@sleve_mcdichael that is correct

@Aroenai said in Fresh RetroPie install on Debian 12 x86_64, keyboards not recognized in emulationstation:

Built From: Debian 12 net install (no GUI, installed to external USB 3.1 flashdrive) installation script from https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup

Actually now I noticed this - we don't support nor test running from the CLI on a PC, a desktop environment (X11/Wayland) is required on that platform.

If you still want to run it via KMS/DRM, check if your user is part of the input/video/render groups.

@mrmadcatz

UPDATE: I was able to fix the issue by going to RetroPie Setup > Core Packages and returning both the Retroarch hot keys and EmulationStation controls back to their defaults. Once I remapped the controllers again in ES, they carried over to RA.

@mitu I wrote it on Debian 12 with gnome fallback mode (x11)

Edit: I have now tested on Debian with wayland and it seems to work the same. The window refocus if I Alt-Tab. Although it seems that the standard emulationstation executable does not minimize on wayland for me for some reason.

I made a separate script that skips if wayland is in use as I have no issues with it and the first script introduced some weird behaviour..

I hade some trouble with this as well so I created a script that keeps the window active and maximized.
Hope it can help others :)

@d1rk said in Install old Vice versions:

So, my question now Is how can I run the latest retroPie and install Vice 2.4?

Though not really support, you can try to save the emulator from that old version (the entire folder /opt/retropie/emulators/vice) and copy it to the latest version.

@mitu Thanks, I'll try that!

omxplayer worked with the video! Thank you. I tried uninstalling VLC and installing again, same result. Thanks for the help!

@AwesomeKingClem I am just now finally getting to it. Sorry about that!

I have few days that i am modifying the script to enable Mk2 plugin but without luck so far.
I like to ask, plugin is disable due to limitation of Pi OS Buster ? Thanks.

Please add some info about your setup, as requested in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

When you say 'freeze', does this mean that even if you plug in a keboard and press F4 (to exit EmulationStation) nothing happens ?

Mapping are usually created based on the controller/gamepad name, so even if the gamepad disconnects and then re-connects the configuration would still work. I'm not familiar with Arcade1Up inputs - are they using an USB encoder for both players or each player is a separate controller ?

@Daistaar Not really. My inspiration is the Small Mac Project. I want to be able to output video throught a small 3d printed version of a Mac Classic and output at the same time on my TV.

Did you ever get this issue fixed? I am having literally the SAME EXACT issue. Retro Pie on a Pi3b+.
